For a sus- tained five-minute period, the av- erage at that time was 32 miles an hour. But, if Juneau's shivering pedes- trians thought the wind was strong, they should have ridden up wn.h‘ the Weather Bureau's balloon this | afternoon. Because, when rc&dingsi were taken at 1:45 o'clock, it was| found that at a height of 4,600 feet, the wind was blowing at the rate of 69 miles per hour. At 8,iv0 feet the speed was 67 miles per hour. In both cases, the direction was from the northeast. Near-zero temperature added to the discomfiture of the citizens The official temperature at 8 o'clock this morning dropped to five de- grees above zero, the coldest re- corded temperature this winter. All morning the mercury hung around this figure while the wind in- creased in velocity. At noon, the temperature was only seven de- grees above zero. ‘The blow, which kicked up much “dust” in the harbor and sent clouds of sifted snow flying from roofs into the streets, started at 11 o'clock yesterday morning.

M’CORMICK IS PROUD; SEEMS HER SON BRINGS CREDIT All Junear :othe.s can apprec- iate the proud feeling that Mrs.| John McCormick, proprietor of the Betty Mac Beauty Shoppe, has these days. Her son, Alfred McVay, was re- elected—last month—as secretary of the Walla Walla, Wash.,, Cham-~ ber of Commerce. This position is a responsible one in the Eastern Empire city and requires full- time work. On December 28, young McVay was re-elected to his post, and the next day Walla Walla newspapers were full of accounts of his pro- |gram for this year and praise for his efforts during the past twelve | months. During McVay's term last year, the membership of the Walla Wal- la Chamber was raised from 264 to 398 and a Junior Chamber of Commerce was inaugurated. In an editorial, the Walla Walla | Daily Bulletin said,* “The manner in which Secretary McVay has taken hold of a task new to him,| and the energy he has put into his work in the past year speaks well for the type of results which may be expected from his office in this year ahead.” oo ATTENTION ODD FELLOWS All members are requested to attend the funeral services of .our late Sister, Mrs. J. D. Van Atta, to be held at the Northern Light Presbyterian Church tomorrow afternoon at ‘1 o'clock. PETER CHRISTENSEN, —adv Noble Grand W, JEWELL "~ JOINS A, B.C. .
